Happy Birthday... to Me!

Well, another year has passed. My 26th birthday was really good. Anna made some German chocolate cupcakes with coconut-pecan frosting. I took some of them to work and everyone enjoyed them. Matt took me to a pretty good Chinese + bubble tea place for lunch and Anna took me out for dinner too :-)

Anna and I had a very productive weekend. On Saturday we had a garage sale where we made around $120, but more importantly, we got rid of lots of extraneous stuff that was laying around the house. The stuff that didn't sell (mostly my old clothes and such) was dropped off at Goodwill. Then on Sunday, we went mountain biking at Kickapoo State Park. It was a blast, it is hard to believe that there was such a fun trail hiding less than thirty minutes away. Hopefully we can explore some of the other trails in Illinois before fall and winter really set in.

Already missing Colorado...

Here is that picture I promised. It was taken from the upper level deck of the cabin looking down the slope of the mountain it was on. It really was quite impressive.

Sorry about the quality of the image stitch, I figured I could either correct the exposure and eliminate the left most seam, or just go ahead and post it for you :) (The picture is actually four different exposures combined to form one wide panoramic shot)

I'll try and find some time tomorrow to write an entire post.
